[AJD] Calcium Chloride in wheels, How to deal with it

[Mitchell Daly]

Chris,

One of the strongest coating products that I've heard of is POR 15.  It is designed to seal out any and all oxygen from the surfaces that it is applied to.  My neighbor used it on the frame of a 1930 DeSoto that he is restoring.  He has friends that have used it very successfully.  His only caution is - Don't get it on you!!  It doesn't come off.

  howdy all,
   
          I have two tractors (4 rear wheels) that are filled with Calcium,  I am planning on dismounting the tires, cleaning them out,  sandblasitng the wheels,  and putting new tubes in.  I am wondering if anyone has ever used a chemical treatment of some sort to neutralize the Calcium Chloride?  On my JD 40 I sandblasted the rear wheels and painted them as well as bought new tired and tubes,  now,  serveral years later,  I can see signs of the calcium causing the wheels to rust.  (This tractor has been stored inside)  Anyone have the solution to getting rid of the calcium once and for all?
   
                                      Chris
